Small screen rookie and prince of musicals
Jo Jeong Seok is mostly known as a rookie among the public. It is somewhat true that he’s a rookie, because he made his small screen debut in 2011 with MBN’s What’s Up. It’s only been a year since the public has actually gotten to know him.
He’s also 31 years old. At first sight, it seems like this man had to endure a long period of being an unknown actor but finally came to shine only recently. For the past few years, however, he’s been busy building his own world in musicals as the ‘Prince of Musicals.
He debuted in 2004 with The Nutcracker, got through roles in Hedwig and Grease in 2006 and finally hit jackpot with his 2009 piece Spring Awakening. He acted in a total of 25 musicals during his nine year career, becoming a well-known name among musical fans.
This is why it’s not so surprising that he made a name for himself as a skilled actor so soon after his debut. He continued to sharpen his skills with a variety of roles, from funny comedies to charismatic dramas.
Those skills just finally came to explode with bright colors in the comical Nap Tteuki of Architecture 101 and the serious Eun Shi Kyung of The King 2Hearts.
Everyone loves Jo Jeong Seok
Perhaps it’s because of his attractive characters, or it may be thanks to the skills of the actor that brought those characters to life, but anyway, Jo Jeong Seok has now become a star rising fast to the top spot. In a very short time, he’s actually come close to becoming a real top star.
Many know this, and are bombarding Jo Jeong Seok with love calls. He’s drawing in contracts for such ‘popular’ commercials as automobiles and smartphones, and casting offers for various pieces are also pouring in.
Actresses also seem to be interested in acting with Jo Jeong Seok. Jo Yeo Jeong, who is currently drawing interest for her role in the film The King’s Concubine, said, “I would love to act with [Jo] Jeong Seok, who’s the same age as me.”
Lee Yoon Ji, who acted alongside him in The King 2Hearts, said, “More than any piece of dialogue, I was thankful for the existence of the actor named Jo Jeong Seok.”
He has skills and is receiving love from his fellow actresses. It won’t be far until he does reach the top.

The Prince 10 years from now
“I’m more scared now,” Jo Jeong Seok said about his changed life. He dominated the musical scene for the last nine years, but this is the first time he’s received such national interest.
Because of this, he continuously expresses his thanks. It seems like yesterday he had to seek out auditions for pieces himself, but now, he’s a star.
Jo Jeong Seok is even more intimidating because his power isn’t rooted in the present, when he’s already a well-known star, but in the future.
His long period spent underground gave him a variety of pieces to act in, and he was able to build his basics through that diversity. Many actors rose to the top but then disappeared because they didn’t have the skills to hold them up; that won’t be happening, however, to this actor.
There’s no need to worry about Jo Jeong Seok in those aspects. Of course, he may never make it to the top even 10 years from now.
Still, he has the skills and he has the popularity. It can’t be denied that he’ll remain in the public’s memory as an impressive actor even far into the future.
